Battle of Watermeetings

The Battle of Watermeetings (1301) was a battle of the Anglo-Scots Wars. An army of 421 Scots under Angus Broun ambushed and nearly wiped out Henry de Gamlingay's patrol of 301 English troops, with only 65 Scots dying while all but one English soldier was killed.

History
After the 1298 Battle of Falkirk, William Wallace initiated a guerrilla war against the Kingdom of England with the help of Princess Isabella of France, who gave him information about English troop movements and their supplies due to her hatred of her husband, the future King Edward II of England. The Scots ambushed isolated English outposts and patrols in asymmetric warfare, taking their toll on King Edward the Longshanks' forces in Scotland.

In 1301, Angus Broun led an army of 421 Highlanders (Scots equipped with axes and shields) on a campaign of ambushes against the English, and one day he found a force of 301 English troops under Henry de Gamlingay near a highland loch. The Scottish highlanders charged the English troops, and the brave and inspired Scottish troops hacked away at the English peasant soldiers. The Scots chased down the English as they routed, slaying Gamlingay and killing all but one English soldier. 65 Scots were killed in the skirmish.
